Guys he didn't ask your opinion of what they look like. He asked if you knew where to locate them.

Be nice or move along.

Re: Ground Effects for Squre body

i did a search for about an hour the other day and came up empty. seems that everything is for the new trucks now. Big V has a good idea though... start calling around to the companys doing current stuff and see what they suggest.

Re: Ground Effects for Squre body

I have a set of ground effects or fender flares on my truck from a place called East Coast Customs. They are the same style of effects that you would find on many sports cars and they protect the paint and body quite well. I really hate the ground effects that many aftermarket truck outlets sell. We all know the ones that follow the wheel well openings and hang out there making the truck look fat. I am at work and I don't have a good picture on file here. Attached is a picture that shows the front fender and the start of the ground effect right behind the wheel well.
